Sicherheit bei der WM2014

Kürzlich bekam ich eine E-Mail, die mit dem Satz »auf Ihrer Seite kubieziel.de habe ich gelesen, dass Sie über Fußball berichten« begann. Wer meine Seite kennt, wird wissen, dass es hier kaum um Fußball geht. Aber das soll sich ändern. ;-)

Illuminati rückwärts

Bei Twitter macht gerade wieder ein kleiner Witz die Runde:

Man tippe “Illuminati” rückwärts in die URL-Zeile des Browsers ein, füge ein .com hinzu und staune.

In der Tat ist das Staunen groß, wenn sich die Webseite der NSA öffnet. Der eine oder andere verortet den Geheimdienst in der Illuminatenecke. Doch warum öffnet sich gerade diese Seite? Gibt die NSA damit zu, selbst zu den Illuminati zu gehören?

Eine kleine Recherche ergibt, dass sich jemand einen Scherz erlaubt hat. Die Whois-Abfrage ergibt eine Privatperson aus Provo in Utah. Eine DNS-Abfrage zeigt, dass der Server gerade nicht in der Nähe von Fort Meade steht. Also mal eine HTTP-Anfrage eingetippert:

telnet 64.202.189.170 80
HEAD / HTTP/1.1
Host: itanimulli.com

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently

Also hat sich wohl eine Privatperson einen Scherz erlaubt. In der Tat ergibt ein wenig Suchen einen Blogbeitrag. Dort wird bestätigt, dass es ein kleiner Gag ist. :-)
